Recent market dynamics have again brought Ethereum’s supply into the spotlight and reiterated concerns about its inflationary trend. Earlier this year, Ethereum reached a significant milestone in its circulating supply, surpassing 120 million ETH and the number continues to grow. Unlike other prominent cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Cardano, which have fixed supply caps, Ethereum was designed with an unlimited supply of tokens. This fundamental difference makes Ethereum an inherently inflationary asset, one that has a continuously increasing supply. On-chain data from Ultrasound.money has shed light on the growing supply of ETH in recent months amidst notable price fluctuations for the cryptocurrency. The most recent data indicates that the total supply of Ethereum has now reached approximately 120.28 million ETH. Related Reading: XRP Price Prediction: Analyst Says God Candle Will Send Price To $57 Over the past seven days alone, 16,039 new ETH tokens have been issued. This pace of issuance corresponds to an annual inflation rate of 0.70%. Interestingly, this data shows that 243,886 ETH has been created in the past four months since the Dencan upgrade in March. What Does This Mean For Ethereum? Ethereum’s inflationary mechanism is mostly counteracted by burning tokens. This burn mechanism was introduced as part of Ethereum’s London Hard Fork in order to introduce a deflationary mechanism to Ethereum. This mechanism aims to reduce the overall supply of ETH by burning a portion of the transaction fees, thereby introducing a deflationary counterbalance. However, data from Ultrasound.money shows the burns are currently lagging behind issuance, and Ethereum is now on an inflationary trajectory. Particularly, 2,028 ETH were burned in the past seven days, compared to 18,075 ETH issued in the same timeframe. Such a sustained uptrend in supply growth could cause downward pressure on the price of ETH in the case of a decline in demand. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,615 with no significant gains or losses in a 24-hour timeframe. Looking at a broader seven-day price action shows Ethereum has largely traded within a range of $2,750 on the upper end and $2,530 on the lower end. The latest price action saw Ethereum rebounding at $2,540 in the past 12 hours. If this continues, Ethereum could possibly push up and retest $2,750 in the next few hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Further Decline As Bearish Death Cross Returns According to the latest figures from Greeks.live, approximately 184,000 ETH options are set to expire today. These options represent a substantial nominal value of $470 million and are characterized by a put-call ratio of 0.8 and a maximum pain point of $2,650. This high put-call ratio value means market participants are currently buying more put options than call options, which in turn suggests a bearish sentiment.

Recent trading activities reveal that PEPE is under mounting selling pressure as its price falls below the critical $0.00000766 support level. This dip signals a further bearish move, with bears gaining control and eyeing further downside towards the $00000589. The break below this key level raises concerns among traders, as the possibility of deeper losses becomes increasingly likely. As momentum turns negative, this article aims to examine the implications of PEPE’s price slipping below a critical support level. It will delve into how this breakdown impacts market sentiment, and with the help of key indicators evaluate the likelihood of further declines. In the past 24 hours, PEPE has declined by 3.51%, reaching approximately $0.00000724. Its market capitalization stands at over $3 billion, with a trading volume exceeding $652 million. During this period, PEPE’s market cap and trading volume have decreased by 3.62% and 0.26% respectively. Market Sentiment Shifts As Price Falls Under Crucial Support PEPE’s price is exhibiting active bearish behavior, trading below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) in the 4-hour timeframe. Since falling below the $0.00000766 support level, the crypto asset has remained steady, showing little sign of recovery. This sustained price action under a key moving average suggests that bearish momentum is firmly in control. As a result, the downward trend could likely extend further, especially if the price continues to struggle below this critical resistance level. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that PEPE could continue its decline toward the $0.00000589 support level. The signal line has fallen below 50% and is now trending around 37%, suggesting that bearish pressure remains strong in the market. On the 1-day, PEPE is still trading below the 100-day SMA and the trendline. It can be observed that the crypto asset is attempting a bearish move toward the $0.00000589 support level. With this recent bearish move, the decline could extend to other support levels. Lastly, the formation of the 1-day RSI suggests that PEPE is at greater risk of extending its decline. The signal line is currently hovering around 35% after failing to break above 50%, setting the stage for another drop toward the oversold zone. Potential Downside Targets: Where PEPE Could Be Headed Next Ongoing bearish pressure could push PEPE’s price down to the next support level at $0.00000589. A decisive break below this support could signal further bearish movement, potentially driving the asset toward the $0.00000566 support level and possibly even lower. However, if PEPE rebounds from the $0.00000589 level, it could retrace toward its previous high of $0.00001152. If the cryptocurrency breaks above this level, it could signal further upward momentum, potentially targeting the $0.00001313 resistance range and other higher levels.

Following a tumultuous start to the month, the cryptocurrency market has yet to shake off the early August blues. The story has not been very much different for the price of Bitcoin, which struggled to make an impact in the past week. With BTC’s price almost 20% adrift of its all-time high of $73.737, there have been increased calls for the premier cryptocurrency to return to the bull market. Interestingly, a recent on-chain observation shows that Bitcoin has witnessed substantial bearish pressure in the past two years. Bitcoin Spot CVD Persists In The Negative — What Does This Mean? In a recent post on the X platform, blockchain data company Glassnode revealed that the Bitcoin spot market has been experiencing a net-sell side bias over the past two years. This on-chain observation is based on the Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator, which measures the net difference between buying and selling trade volumes. Related Reading: MATIC Set For Rebranding In Early September: Will Polygon Prices Recover After Sinking 65%? The Spot CVD metric is used by investors to assess the current market sentiment. It offers detailed insight into whether the bulls or bears are the dominant market participants. Typically, a positive Cumulative Volume Delta value implies more buying pressure in the market, while a negative value suggests that the sellers are in control. According to the latest data from Glassnode, the yearly median CVD value has been bouncing between -$22 million and -$50 million over the past two years. This trend suggests a net sell-side bias, with selling volume overshadowing buying volume in the spot market for some time now. While the persistence of a net-sell side bias suggests investors offloading their coins rather than accumulating, it does not necessarily imply a bearish condition for the Bitcoin market. It rather spotlights a cautious approach by the investors, with an overall decline in spot demand of BTC. Although it is difficult to say how the spot Cumulative Volume Delta will shift over the coming months, the metric is one that investors should look out for. This is especially relevant because a return of CVD to positive values could signal an increase in Bitcoin spot market demand, which could be favorable for the Bitcoin price. BTC Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of Bitcoin is slightly above the $59,000 mark, having increased by more than 2.5% in the past 24 hours. This recent momentum, though, is not enough to wipe off the coin’s loss on the weekly timeframe. According to data from CoinGecko, the Bitcoin price is down by more than 2% in the past week.
